A pedorthist is a foot care specialist, trained specifically in gait analysis, shoe fitting, foot orthoses, custom shoes, wound care and lab fabrication. A pedorthist is trained to recognize conditions indicating a medical condition that can be treated by a physician and can address medical conditions requiring a pedorthic device pursuant to a physician’s order or prescription. Your pedorthist is often a front line member of the foot care team that catches foot pathology early, while conservative measures can still be taken and before the condition becomes debilitating or limb threatening. A pedorthist follows the patient closely to determine the success of all prescribed and applied modalities, reporting regularly to the entire medical team.
